what would you say to Rae? Exactly how you would respond to Rae to address this situation. Scenario: Imagine that you have been asked to head a small working group within your organization. When your group was assembled, you were pleased to see that a colleague named Rae had been assigned to your group. Rae is reputed to be a very bright and creative person who was part of another highly successful group in the organization. However, Rae has been arriving late to group meetings and recently showed up halfway through the meeting and was clearly unprepared. You overheard two members of the group discussing Raes behavior. One group member, Maya, was wondering why Rae had not been removed from the group yet; the other team member, Bill, speculated that Rae has been having some problems at home and suggested that everyone should cut Rae some slack. Next week, your group is expected to complete an important project so that the results can be passed along to other members of the organization. Each team member is responsible for a different part of the project, and Rae is responsible for the two most important parts. Your group is scheduled to meet tomorrow to do any last minute coordination that may be required. Based on that timetable, you gave the head of your organization your personal guarantee that the project would be done by Monday. Rae calls you today and says they do not have the sections finished and probably wont be able to finish them before the meeting. Rae says they just need more time.Show more
